We talk a lot here about how the little things in paintball are what make the game great. We’re never going to claim that a hat is going to change the game as we know it, but if you’re a fan of Exalt Paintball you can wear their new SnapBack hat with pride. The SnapBack hat is available in two color combinations—blue/black and silver/black and it’s embroidered on both the front and side. This flat-brimmed hat looks great, it’s comfortable, and it’s an Exalt Paintball product, so you know it will last. ExaltPaintball.com

Don’t you just dig it when two class companies work together to put out a product, or in this case, a new, custom version of a great product?

This year Planet Eclipse has revived the custom milling not really seen since the DARK 06 Ego. A lot of time was spent and revisions made to bring this aggressive milling to production. There will only be 150 made and the first colors released will be 25 White/Gold and 25 Black/Lime Green. Check them out at www.warpedsportz.com
